Sisi is now more eye-catching than the Emperor, and she doesn't like to hide anything.

Soon, everyone in the capital knew that Sisi had ridden out of the city on horseback with Lao Bai, Niu Minglei, and Niu Mingjie.

The Emperor has only one son, and many people want to marry their daughters to Ning Yirong. Among them is Ning Yirong's maternal uncle.

After changing his clothes, Ning Yirong went to find the Emperor. He needed to hurry and teach his father how to be an Emperor. Only after teaching his father would he have time to visit his beloved minister. Fortunately, his minister was still young.

Ning Yirong was discussing with his father what to do next when a young eunuch entered. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Brother-in-law has arrived."

The Emperor and his brother-in-law have a good relationship. "Let the Emperor's brother-in-law in."

"yes."

A moment later, the Emperor's brother-in-law entered. He bowed to the Emperor and said, "Long live the Emperor!"

"Rise, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, the emperor's brother-in-law immediately looked at Ning Yirong. "Rong'er, has the medicine been applied?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Uncle."

“That little girl is really arrogant and doesn’t know her place. She even dared to hit the Crown Prince. Brother-in-law, you can’t ignore this.”

How can we manage this? His son already said he likes it this way. "Miss Yun is still young, she'll be fine when she grows up."

"She's not a child anymore, she's already twelve. When Xiu'er was her age, she was already helping her mother manage the household. But this girl, she even dared to hit Rong'er. Does she think that just because she sent us some food and medicine, she's our great benefactor? And that she can look down on us?"

Ning Yirong's eyes darkened slightly. "Uncle, it's between me and Xiao Liu that Xiao Liu hit me. Don't drag my father and the Yun family into this. My father has just become emperor and can't stand being provoked."

"...Your uncle is not trying to provoke your father; he just cares about you."

Ning Yirong stared at the Imperial Brother-in-Law and softly uttered two words: "Is that so?"

The emperor's brother-in-law's heart skipped a beat. "Of course."

"That's good. Father, we've just established our country. If we start to dislike our meritorious officials right away, we won't be able to hold onto this throne for long."

"Father knows. Your uncle didn't mean anything by it; he just cares about you." The Emperor looked at the Imperial Uncle and asked, "You came to see if Rong'er is recovering well, right?"

no.

The emperor's brother-in-law hesitated for a moment before revealing his purpose. "I heard that General Niu is very fond of Miss Yun Liu and wants her to be his daughter-in-law. I also heard that people at the border know that Miss Yun Liu and Young Master Niu are in love. I didn't believe it at first. But... but I just saw Miss Yun Liu taking Young Master Niu out of the city. Do you think they... are they going to... have an affair..."

The Emperor looked at Ning Yirong. "Is that so?"

"I have no idea."

"Now?"

"She must have taken Young Master Niu out for a walk to relax."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Don't be angry. Young Master Niu is no match for me. Besides, Young Master Niu and she aren't a good match." His beloved minister needs someone like him. Young Master Niu can only amuse her; he can't let her do whatever she wants.

The emperor's brother-in-law could hardly believe his ears. "Brother-in-law, she knows you've given her to Rong'er, yet she still goes out to play with other young men, without even a maid."

The Emperor also felt that Sisi had done something wrong. "Rong'er?"

Rong'er didn't think it was a big deal. "If Miss Yun were like other young ladies, I wouldn't like her, and I wouldn't let her beat and scold me. Also, Miss Yun won't elope with Young Master Niu." His beloved minister never liked to cause trouble for others.

The emperor's brother-in-law believed that Ning Yirong was possessed. "Brother-in-law, I heard that the barbarians all say that Miss Yun Liu is a demon. Brother-in-law, do you think Rong'er might be under some kind of evil spell?"

The emperor became a little nervous upon hearing this.

Ning Yirong's eyes darkened again. "Uncle, isn't it just that you want me to marry Xiu'er? Let me tell you, I will not marry Xiu'er. If you speak ill of Miss Yun Liu to my father again, I will send all the girls in your family to marry into foreign powers. That way you won't have to keep an eye on Miss Yun Liu every day."

The emperor's brother-in-law was stunned upon hearing this. "You...brother-in-law?"

The brother-in-law didn't expect Ning Yirong to be so direct. "Rong'er was just saying it casually."

Ning Yirong stared into the eyes of the Imperial Brother-in-law and said, "I'm not just saying this casually; I'm serious." In the beginning of his previous life, he was relatively weak, and his beloved minister suffered a lot of injustice. In this life, he would absolutely not let his beloved minister suffer even the slightest injustice.

The emperor's brother-in-law was both angry and afraid. "Xiuer and the others... Xiuer and the others are also your cousins."

"If you behave yourself, they are my cousins; if you are greedy, they are my tools to maintain my rule."

"..." The emperor's brother-in-law wanted to call him "brother-in-law," but he had already called him that several times. "You've misunderstood, Uncle. Uncle has other matters to attend to, so Uncle will be leaving now."

After saying this, the emperor's brother-in-law hurriedly left. He even forgot to bow to the emperor as he departed.

After leaving the Emperor's residence, the Imperial Uncle wanted to go to the Empress to complain. However, he stopped after taking only two steps. What if the Crown Prince found out he had gone to the Empress and actually sent his daughters to marry foreign rulers? Then… then he would be at a huge loss!

On the other side, the Emperor looked at Ning Yirong and asked, "Rong'er, can you tell your father why you like Miss Yun Liu so much? If you don't tell your father, your father won't feel at ease."

"I don't know either, maybe I owed her something in my past life."

"..." So do you owe her a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver? She whipped you and went out to play with other young men, and you're still not angry and still protecting her.
